Chapter 5 - Seed Testing

Seed testing is the cornerstone of all other seed technologies.
It is the means by which we measure the viability
and all the physical factors that regulate the use and maintenance
of seeds. Everything that is done with seeds should
have some test information to guide the work and ensure
high quality. Seed tests tell if a crop of seeds is worth collecting,
if handling procedures are correct, and how many
potential seedlings are available for regeneration.
